The future calls for reduced plastic, electricity, and eco-friendly practices, like disposable towels. However, another overlooked sustainability aspect in the barbering industry demands attention. Self-employment or chair rental models dominate, simplifying operations but bringing legal and tax complexities. Ambiguity fosters tax evasion. Despite the allure, self-employment leads to instability and price competition. Employment offers stability and growth but criticised for lower earnings. Building a supportive team fosters success. To ensure sustainability, focus shifts to community, teamwork, and long-term viability over short-term gains. Collaboration, innovation, and commitment to growth are paramount for a sustainable future in barbering. Welcome to the conversation on sustainability — are we all on the same page?
Sam Campagna has 25 years of mastery in barbering and is a global educator for Matakki. Sam runs his own shop, specialising in short hair and pixie cuts. Honoured with an MK College Fellowship Award, he reshapes barbering education, aiming for inclusivity & innovation.
